SINGER  SEWING  MACHINE 


OFFICIAL  RETURNS  ! 

Tin*  magnitude  to  which  the  manufacture  of  Se'winjr 
lactones  has  attained,  is  shown  by  the  sworn  re- 
turns of  the  manufacturers  for  the  year  ending  De- 
cember 31. 1S70.  to  the  owners  of  the  leading  patents 
on  which  they  pay  a  royalty.  According  to  these  re- 
turns the  number  of  machines  sold  by  each  manufac- 
turer in  1870.  is  as  follows  : 

The  Singer  Manufacturing  Co.,         127,883

The  Weed  Company,  35,002 

The  American  Button  Hole  Co.  14.573 


It  will  be  seen  by  this  tabic  that  the  popularity  of 
the 

SINSER  SEWING  MACHINE. 

Far  excels  that  of  all  others,  its  sales  being  one-half 
greater  than  even  that  of  the  famous  Wheeler  and 
Wilson,  together  with  the  Elliptic  which  is  included 
in  the  Wheeler  and  Wilson  comp  iny's  returns.  The

sell  them  before  they  have  an  opportunity 
to  see  the  Singer. 

The  agents  for  the  Singer  Machines  do

Seeking  Salvation. 

1  Drooping  souls  no  longer  grieve, 

Heaven  is  propitious ; 
If  in  Jesus  you  believe, 

You  will  find  him  precious. 
Lo  !  he  now  is  passing  by, 

Calls  the  mourner  to  him  ; 
.  He  has  died  that  jou  and  I 

Might  look  up  and  view  him. 

2  From  his  hands,  his  feet,  his  side, 
Flows  a  healing  lotion ; 

See  the  heart-consoling  tide. 

Boundless  as  the  ocean. 
See  the  living  waters  move, 

For  the  sick  and  dying ; 
Xow  resolve  to  gain  his  love, 

Or  to  perish  trying. 

3  Grace's  store  is  always  free, 
Drooping  souls  to  gladden  ; 

Jesus  calls,  "come  unto  me, 

Weary,  heavy  laden ;  " 
Though  your  sins  like  mountains  high 

Rise  and  reach  to  heaven ; 
When  3'our  heart  on  him  relies, 

"  All  shall  be  forgiven." 

4  Xow  methinks  I  hear  one  say, 
"  I  will  go  and  prove  him  ; ?? 

If  he  takes  my  sins  away, 
Surelv  I  shall  love  him ; 


PENITENTIAL. 

Yes,  I  see  the  Father  smile — ■ 
Smiling  moves  my  burden ; 

All  is  grace,  for  I  am  vile, 
Yet  he  seals  my  pardon. 

5  Streaming  mercy,  how  it  flows, 
Now  I  know  I  feel  it ; 

Half  has  never  yet  been  told, 

Yet  I  want  to  tell  it. 
Jesus'  blood  has  healed  my  wounds, 

Oh !  the  wondrous  story  ; 
I  was  lost,  but  now  am  found, 

Glory!  Glory!  Glory! 

6  Glory  to  my  Saviour's  name, 
$aints  are  bound  to  love  him  ; 

Mourners,  you  may  do  the  same, 
Only  come  and  prove  him  ; 

Hasten  to  the  Saviour's  blood, 
Feel  it  and  declare  it ; 

Oh !  that  I  could  sing  so  loud 
All  the  world  might  hear  it* 

7  If  no  greater  joys  are  known 
In  the  upper  region  5 

I  will  try  to  travel  on 

In  this  pure  religion. 
Heaven's  here  and  heaven's  there, 

Glory's  here  and  yonder ; 
Brightest  seraphs  shout  amen, 

While  the  angels  wonder.

His  dark  reign  is  ended,- 
Kis  sceptre  is  -broken. 
Thro'    Jesus,  thro'    Jesus,   the   mighty   to

Repeat  the  glad  story, 

And  sing  all  ye  ransomed  from  death  and

Mansions  of  glory, 
Thro'    Jesus,  thro"   Jesus,    the   mighty    to

22        Singing  for  Jesus. 

1  Singing  for  Jesus,  singing  for  Jesus, 
Trying  to  serve  him  wherever  I  go  ; 

Pointing  the  lost  to  the  way  of  salvation — 
This  be  my  mission,  a  pilgrim  below. 

When  in  the  strains  of  my  country  I  mingle, 
TVhen  to  exalt  her  my  voice  1  would  raise  ; 

'Tis  for  his  glory  whose  arm  is  her  refuge, 
Him  would  I  honor,  his  name   would  1 
praise. 

2  Singing  for  Jesus  glad  hymns  of  devotion, 
Lifting  the  soul  on  her  pinions  of  love  ; 

Dropping  a  word  or  a  thought  by  the  way- 
side, 
Telling  of  rest  in  the  mansions  above. 
Music  rnay    soften  where   language   would 
fail  us, 
Feelings  long  buried  'twill   often  restore, 
Tones  that  were  breathed   from  the   lips  of 
departed, 
How  we  revere   them  when  the}r   are  no 
more ! 

3  Singing  for  Jesus,  my  blessed   Redeemer, 
God  of  the  pilgrims,  for  thee  /will  sing  ; 

Tlrhen  o'er  the  billows  of  time  Jam  wafted, 
Still  with   thy  praise  shall  eternity  ring. 

Glory  to  God  for  the  prospect  before  me, 
Soon  shall  my  spirit  transported  ascend  ; 

Singing  for  Jesus,  O  blissful  employment, 
Loud  hallelujahs  that  never  will  end.

And  by  faith  we  may  see  it  afar ; 
For  the  Father  waits  over  the  way, 

And  will  give  us  a  dwelling  place  there.

We  shall  meet  on  that  beautiful  shore.

The  melodious  song  of  the  blest ; 

And  our  spirits  shall  sorrow  no  more  ; 
Not  a  sigh  for  the  blessing  of  rest. 

cho.— In  the  sweet  by-and-by, 

We  shall  sing  on  that  beautiful  shore. 

3  To  our  bountiful  Father  above, 
We  will  offer  the  tribute  of  praise, 

For  the  glorious  gift  of  his  love, 

And  the  blessings  that  hallow  our  days. 

cno. — In  the  sweet  by-and-by, 

We  shall  praise  on  that  beautiful  shore. 

4  And  when  all  our  sorrows  are  o'er, 
And  the  toils  of  this  life  are  all  past, 

We'll  shout  on  that  beautiful  shore, 
Hallelujah,  we're  safe  home  at  last. 

cho. — In  the  sweet  by-and-by, 

We  shall  shout  on  that  beautiful  shore.

1  'Tis  a  point  I  long  to  know, 
Oft  it  causes  anxious  thought ; 

Do  I  love  the  Lord,  or  no  ? 
Am  I  his,  or  am  I  not  ? 

2  If  I  love,  why  am  I  thus  ? 

Why  this  dull  and  lifeless  frame  ? 
Hardly,  sure,  can  they  be  worse 
Who  have  never  heard  his  name. 

3  If  I  pray,  or  hear,  or  read, 
Faith  is  weak  in  all  I  do; 

You  that  love  the  Lord,  indeed, 
Tell  me,  is  it  thus  with  you  ? 

4  Yet  I  mourn  my  stubborn  will, 
Find  my  sin  a  grief  and  thrall ; 

Should  I  grieve  for  what  I  feel, 
If  I  did  not  love  at  all  ? 

5  Could  I  joy  with  saints  to  meet, 
Choose  the  ways  I  once  abhorred. 

Find,  at  times,  the  promise  sweet, 
If  I  did  not  love  the  Lord  ? 

G  Lord,  decide  the  doubtful  case, 
Thou  wTho  art  the  people's  sun ; 

Shiue  upon  the  work  of  grace, 
If  it  be,  indeed,  begun. 

T  Let  me  love  thee  more  and  more, 
If  I  love  at  all,  I  pray ;

When  her  ear  is  upward  turned  ;

Loved  them  with  a  wondrous  love  ;

1  When  I  was  down  in  Egypt's  Land^ 

1  heard  the  Saviour  was  at  hand. 

The  midnight  cry  was  sounding* 

And  I  wanted  to  be  free ; 

So  I  left  the  world  of  Satan, 

To  sound  the  jubilee.  Repeat. 

2  Some  said  that  I  had  better  stay 
And  go  with  them  in  their  old  way ; 

But  they  scoffed  at  my  Lord's  coming, 
"With  them  I  could  not  agree ; 
So  I  left  my  old  companions, 
To  sound  the  jubilee. 

3  And  soon  I  joined  a  Christian  band, 
Who'd  just  come  out  from  Egypt's  land. 

They  were  on  their  way  to  Canaan, 
A  blest  praying  company  ; 
And  with  them  I'm  proclaiming, 
The  coming  jubilee. 

4  They  call  us  now  a  noisy  crew, 

And  say,  they  hope  we'll  soon  fall  through) 
But  we  now  are  growing  stronger, 
Both  in  love  and  unity, 
Since  we  left  the  world  and  Satan, 
To  sound  the  jubilee.

6  The  battle  is  not  to  the  strong, 

The  weak  may  sing  the  conqueror's  song. 

"  I've  been  through  the  fiery  furnace," 

And  no  harm  was  found  in  me ; 

I  came  out  with  the  evidence, 

We're  near  the  jubilee. 

t  If  Satan  comes  to  tempt  your  minds, 
Then  meet  him  with  these  precious  lines : 
Saying,  K  Get  behind  me,  Satan, 
I  have  nought  to  do  with  thee, 
I  have  got  1113'  soul  converted ; 
And,  I'll  sound  the  jubilee." 

8  A  little  longer  here  below, 
Then  home  to  glory  we  will  go : 

I  believe  it,  I  believe  it, 
Hallelujah,  I  am  free 
From  all  sectarian  prejudice ; 
I'll  sound  the  jubilee. 

9  When  to  that  blessed  world  we  rise, 
And  join  the  anthems  in  the  skies, 

There  the  wicked  cannot  enter 
To  disturb  our  harmony, 
But  we'll  sing  and  shout  forever.
